In another step towards its integration with Lehman Brothers'
(LEHMQ) brokerage operations, Barclays Capital said it launched
Barclays Capital Live, a web-based portal for information and
electronic trading.
Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, a unit of Barclays PLC
(BCS), each had their own web portals, as do most banks, but now
the two have been combined.
"We have integrated the best of legacy Lehman Brothers and
Barclays Capital products to provide an offering which is unique in
its depth and breadth across every asset class and every
discipline," said Barclays Capital head of distribution Guglielmo
Sartori di Borgoricco in a statement.
Specifically, the platform will combine the Lehman platform's
research capability with Barclays Capital's multi-asset class
electronic trading service BARX Fixed Income, as well as adding
several new capabilities, the company said.
The new site will allow Barclays Capital clients access to
research, indices, analytics, reporting tools, as well as
electronic trading.
Barclay's bought the Lehman brokerage operations last fall.
